| Sumario: | A chapter from the book "Studies in Honor of Elias Rivers" is presented. The chapter examines the relation of the theories on somatology by humanist Pedro Laín Entralgo with depiction of the human body in Spanish Renaissance and Baroque poetry. It notes that during the Renaissance, the human body was regarded as a static edifice or statue while during the Baroque, the human statue was seen as an elegant machine or organism in movement. It applies the theories to poetry of Garcilaso de la Vega and Francisco de Aldana. |
